While talking to reporters, Lyngdoh said, “everyday is holy and precious, and it is not that people become holy and faithful for a particular week or a day, and become unholy for the rest of the week.”
It must be noted that the Saindur Tipkur Tipkha Ehrngiew Hynniewtrep (STIEH) has opposed concluding the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival on a Sunday. The festival is scheduled to happen on 17 (Friday),18 (Saturday) and 19 (Sunday) in Bhoirymbong.
